Joseph Ceretti, 30, shook his head as Judge Egly read off his charges at the Polk County Jail.

Ceretti is facing first degree murder charges in the death of Eric Naylor, which could mean a maximum sentence of life in prison.

He is also facing previous charges for domestic assault.

Ceretti is being held on a one million dollar bond for the murder and a $20,000 bond for domestic assault.

He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 7.

A candlelight vigil was held Tuesday night at East 17th and Walnut streets, where Naylor's body was found.

Friends and family spoke about Naylor and their appreciation for the police.

“He was a great guy in the eyes of everyone that I know and came across. In some, he may have been a little bit bad. He didn't ask to die and I know as a good friend, he didn't want to die to do it. To the police department and everybody else that helped, I appreciate it,” said Naylor’s friend Nicholas Luna.

Police said Naylor and Ceretti knew each other, but they haven't released a motive.
